Best team he could have started tonight with who he had available. Come on united.

Ashley Young at CB again, with Jones on the bench.

Ole learned nothing from the last match.

I didn't think we were that bad. Lacked a cutting edge and Young's a liability.

Jones is awfull I would rather Romero play there than Jones he shouldn't be on the bench nm the starting 11.

Mort we played well other than the first 15 minutes we hounded them and if we were better in the final phase we could have scored.


Much better when we press high and fast.

Young is awfull most have gave the ball away at least 30 times and for a guy who was a winger he cannot cross a ball.

{Ed004's Note - I think that shows the way Ole wants to play. Pressing high up the pitch with high intensity football. We just dont have the team to play that style week in week out}

As I say we lacked a cutting edge. If we make the right signings who knows. Shout out for scotty mctom. Knows there's a place for him with Herrera going.

Agreed ed004, the right type of play is there, just not the players to execute it. Young is a massive liability and holds us back so much. We need an actual rb who can drive forward and can actually deliver a half decent cross, it's a joke that Utds captain and first choice rb is a 33 year old washed up average winger, he was poor. Big shoutout to Fred and mctominay who I thought were outstanding with mctominay being motm for me, calm on the ball and it was as if he's played for years. Fred had a couple of off passes but his energy to win the ball back and drive forward was good to see. Worries me however that we managed no shot on target at home. We need a lot more creativity and to create more chances for our attackers who had no service. Again screams the importance of a new fullback and another creative midfielder so pogba doesn't get isolated out the game. Need an attacksr too because our forward line don't score enough. All in all we played ok and are still in the game. Onto the next.

Bolger we were ok.
Ddg lindelof dalot mctom and fred were all above average
Pogba smalling and shaw average
Lukaku rash martial jessie all below average
Young was a shambles yet again.

Sanchez gets stick and rightly so but martial gets a pass from some. i'd pick sanchez every time over martial.

I thought we played really well.
Shaw needs to work on his positional play.
Fred and Mctominay played really well.
Dalot did well on the left.
Rashford could have played better.
Young can't cross to save his life.

Let's be honest. We subdued Barcelona, not many teams have done that.
It was valiant performance, one to be proud of.

We have areas we need to improve on, but if we play like we did tonight, then we like the players can hold our heads high.

Mad hatter we were at home in a cl quarter final and didn't have 1 shout on target for the first time EVER.
Lots of effort that's true lots of dicipline but so little quality no doubt about that.
Nobody was proud of jose teams that parked the bus but we never went through a European game without a shot on target.
So we have had a negative manager
We now have a positive manager
But as jose said all along and most people who know the game.
Managers are not the biggest problem the problem is our players are not as good at football as all other top teams.
Honestly 10 or 12 of this squad could leave and make no impact wherever they go.
I just hope ole is allowed to do the job jose was not allowed to do. Anybody who knows anything about football will tell you that this squad is lacking in quality and needs to b e ripped apart.

Well said Ken. Our team is poor and if we have any ambition to return to the top then we have to ruthless and get rid of the player.

I actually believe we are not serious anymore. We are the next Arsenal and as long as we keep making money we are not going to get rid of the players we don't need and buy players we need to return to the top.

Players like Smalling, Jones, Lingard, Young and Lukaku shouldn't be anywhere near the first team.

Then we have players like Pogba who we think is so good but he is pants with the attitude he has. What is the point of having so much ability if you can't do anything with it.

Honestly the only players I would keep is DeGea, Lindelof, Rashford, Dalot and Martial and the rest can jog on.

Lets see what happens in the summer and see if Solsjaer gets backed to get rid of the players we don't need and replace them with top class players.

We have fallen so far behind with the resources we have is ridiculous.

Only caught the last forty minutes as I’m still living in Japan (+8 hours), but I thought we were pretty poor today. Barça weren’t at the races at all today and a half decent team would have put them to the sword. To fail to create a single shot on target at home in a champions league quarter final is a little embarrassing; especially given the cost as which our squad was assembled. I don’t think Ole can at all be blamed, but the players and those responsible for signing them have a lot to answer for. I’m well aware that we were up against Barcelona, but they were a shadow of their usual self today. To hope that that will also be the case next Tuesday in Spain I fear is wishful thinking. A lot of work needed this summer. SM and Fred didn’t play too badly, but Pogba, our forward line and Young didn’t look fit to wear the shirts on their backs. Shaw looked a liability far too often as well. He has a lot of improving to do positionally, although I think most of us new that before this game.
